Jennifer,
Thank you for painting such a beautiful girl! Otherwise I never would have found PYO. When I first saw Jenna, I thought it was a piece put out by Windstone and had no idea an individual had painted it…you are very talented as I have seen your other art by now…but you already knew that 😉 I went out and bought about 10 different colors in the golden line. Which colors did you use to get the right ‘red’ for the husky. When I was looking at all the colors I thought, wow, matching real life stuff is way harder than getting a fantasy idea, cause I had a million ideas for a kirin, or a dragon lol. I bought specifically for her the titan buff, and burnt sienna…thinking that was a good place to start. I also would like to clear coat her, I don’t know whether to antique her or clear coat when I’m done. What are your suggestions?

My father in law, Arthur, is a very wonderful man. It’s almost as if he has adopted me. I grew up not having a good father figure. I have been so blessed to find a good man in my husband. I can see why my husband is so caring and loving, because his Dad raised him to be. Then somewhere in my late late teens, my birth father started being in my life…so now at 27 I have 3 wonderful men, who would do anything to make me happy…I have never felt luckier than I did knowing what Arthur did to get a hold of a famous artist for me. I never would have dreamed to bother the actual artist about a piece lol.

Warms husky howls to you,
Rachel

I hope so! I totally hit that notify me when it’s in stock button…on more than just the pyo lol. But I have bought tons of colors and I am itching to paint! I guess after I get Tundra’s piece done I will order one of the little dragons and start there…but a keeper is what I really want to paint 🙂 That and a unicorn!

[Riversgrace]

I believe you are the one who painted the Stargazer Lilly Keeper, and I must say she is a total favorite!!!!!

I was asking on facebook about this color, and the story behind them. I own a full set, dad, mom, and baby…and I have never seen them anywhere else or in a store or anywhere…are they discontinued? I posted a picture on the facebook wall for Windstone Editions to see if anyone knew anything about them…

Turkish Vans might have too much white to come out well, but never know! I would love to see a lilac point siamese 🙂

[Riversgrace]

I second the Absynian! Also perhaps a Russian Blue, or Ragdoll?

Congratulations Dee!

Thank you everyone! I printed out the PDF self help guide, and thank you for the advice on brand of paint. I don’t care how much stuff costs really with this. She is worth every cent if I can get this to look right. I tried to upload her picture but for some reason I goofed and it didn’t show up. I will try again and I will post pictures of the final piece once it’s done. Again thank you everyone for your kind words…she gave out love like it was candy in her pocket, she showed many people that huskies are loving family pets, not just scary dogs that pull sleds lol. I hope I get this right!
